A Daddy Daughter Date @ Pie Five Pizza

My daughter and I had an enjoyable evening out for some bonding time while having dinner at Pie Five Pizza. The chain recently opened their first restaurant in Michigan and invited A Geek Daddy out for a complimentary meal to check the place out so we made a daddy daughter date night out of the opportunity.

The newly opened Michigan restaurant is in the Metro Detroit suburb of Southfield at the intersection of 12 Mile & Telegraph Roads (NW Corner)...24532 W. 12 Mile Road to be exact. The premise of the place is that you can select anything you like from their selection of crusts, sauces, cheese, veggies, and meats to make your own personalized for one price of $6.99. Then they'll make up your pizza right in front of you and have it baked up and ready to eat in 5 minutes.

If you want a little bit more to eat beyond your personal pizza with unlimited toppings, Pie Five Pizza also has a "bundle" for $9.99 which includes a pizza, side salad or desert, and regular sized fountain drink. Not in the mood for pizza? They also have a variety of salads you can order including Classic Italian, Chicken Caesar, Greek, and Spinach. What I thought was pretty cool was that they make the bowls for their salads out of pizza crust. You can literally eat your salad bowl at Pie Five Pizza.

Pie Five Pizza's theme is "any pie or salad, any way for $6.99" so we really made sure to test out making our pizza pies just the way we wanted them. For my daughter that was actually pretty simple as she had them make her up a crispy artisan flat bread cheese pizza with tuscan marinara sauce and a blend of mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan cheeses. My selection was a bit more customized pan pizza that included bacon, grilled chicken, red onions, black olives, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and minced garlic.

If you happen to be in the neighborhood, the Southfield Pie Five Pizza location has "Happy Hour" Monday - Thursday from 2 - 6pm deal of a $5 pizza with unlimited toppings. Stop by and tell them A Geek Daddy blog sent you!
